I have previously used babes on the vinyl of my old Moomba LS. I liked the way it smelled and it gave a little bit of a supple look to my old vinyl, but it didn't seem to clean very well. For anything resembling anything close to a tough stain, I had to get stronger cleaner. I also used it last fall on the brand new boat but other than the smell and again maybe making the vinyl temporarily look just a little more supple, it was hard to tell I'd even put it down. Of course there wasn't much dirty on it yet.

I just ordered a huge order of boat bling stuff. I will be picking the new boat up from the dealer on May 10 (winterization / storage / stereo work) and will report back on my experience with the boat bling. I got hte vinyl sauce, the quickie sauce, all of it. 4 different products.

As far as waxing, I used a 3M marine wax on my old boat previously with a 10 inch random orbital buffer for the outside and good old elbow grease for hte top deck. I applied once or twice a year depending on use and sun exposure. It did just fine and looked good.

I never experiment with vinegar (water mix). I guess, there's always first time for everything LOL

This is good remove wax and any build up, also the stronger it is the more water spots it will remove just by whiping it down. You do have to deal with the smell.

I use it on the carpets in the engine area and IBS because it stops all mold growth, also when its stored over the winter it prevents spiders from nesting in the boat as well. It only smells for a few hours then only the critters can smell it.

I second all the opinions on babes. smells yummy when going on, but doesn't really seem to "clean" stains. malco for cleaning then babes to treat it again. kept the seats in the supra looking brand new the day I sold it..

I have read that meguires for boats is the best wax out there and to stay away from regular auto waxes.

Best cleaning products ?

I've been using the Boat Bling products and really like them. I've got the Hot, Vinyl and Condition Sauce.

I also just tried a product today that worked great on my brown water and rust stains called Slimy Grimy. It seems to work like the toilet bowl cleaners but it is not harsh. No gloves required, no stinging fumes and it cleared the water stains right up. They claim it is mot acidic and is safe for the environment. I'll definitely be using again.

Anyone got ideas for Blood? I think i got a small spot on the inside of the seat where it meets up with another seat. Pretty sure it was from the stereo install and some of the cuts i incurred from the fiberglass and such.

I tried my Malco, and Totally Awesome.

Cant see it unless you pull the seat out but don't really want to take and eraser to it, and would like to get it off the white.
